A driving support apparatus includes a controller. While the vehicle is driving, the controller is configured to obtain data indicating behavior of a body of a vehicle and output a certain sound based on information indicating stability of the behavior determined from the obtained data. Every time the vehicle drives a predetermined segment, the controller is configured to output a reward sound in accordance with the stability of the behavior in the predetermined segment.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The driving support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to determine the stability of the behavior by comparing a value representing the behavior in each segment with a threshold value.
4. The driving support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the controller is configured to determine the stability of the behavior by comparing a value representing the behavior in each segment with a threshold value.
5. The driving support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller is further configured to set the threshold value based on information related to a driving skill of a driver who drives the vehicle.
6. The driving support apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the controller is further configured to set the threshold value based on information related to a driving skill of a driver who drives the vehicle.
7. The driving support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to set one or more types of data to be used for determining the stability of the behavior based on information related to a driving skill of a driver who drives the vehicle.
8. The driving support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the controller is further configured to set one or more types of data to be used for determining the stability of the behavior based on information related to a driving skill of a driver who drives the vehicle.
9. The driving support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller is further configured to set one or more types of data to be used for determining the stability of the behavior based on information related to a driving skill of a driver who drives the vehicle.
10. The driving support apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the controller is further configured to set one or more types of data to be used for determining the stability of the behavior, based on information related to a driving skill of a driver who drives the vehicle.
11. The driving support apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the controller is further configured to set one or more types of data to be used for determining the stability of the behavior, based on information related to the driving skill of the driver.
12. The driving support apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the controller is further configured to set one or more types of data to be used for determining the stability of the behavior, based on information related to the driving skill of the driver.
16. The driving support apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the higher the driving skill of the driver is, the more types of data the controller is configured to set.
19. The driving support apparatus according to claim 18, wherein the higher the driving skill of the driver is, the more types of data the circuitry is configured to set.
